you can spend hours and still not get your work done lol I'm stealing your new word. -
Thank you, I hear that! I think its human nature to want to create. I come from a family that has always made /built /created in some form. Mom an excellent seamstress, dad a mechanic always with more time than money lol always enforced our creative nature. i cant afford a quality built one and wont buy a chinamo brand piece of junk that i would have to re build anyway lol. A lathe and mill would be friggin awesome!!!!!!!

I used to love the water sports lol had an old town canoe and a nice kayak. Before that our high school fun was inner tubing on the river with a cooler full o suds . Now they arrest kids for having that type of good old fashioned enjoyment.

the earlier pictures dont show the slots in the blade where the holes are drilled
-
I may when i get the bugs worked out and prettied up.

Thank you. the two long bolts are for height /thickness. the two bolts on the back are for setting the blade fore or aft of top center via the angle piece, it sets behind the blade. the two pairs on top hold the top plate and blade in place they aren't in slots in the top plate it is for holding the blade in place the blade is slotted underneath to allow for adjustment fore and aft. Under the roller shaft are two more bolts with springs under them in holes in the wood they add tension upward to the roller they also have a nut on each so the tension is adjustable also. I'll see what i can do lol.

class 4 sorry

dang that does sound fun i woulda jumped on it back in the day lol. I chose a kayak for my death defying water stunts back in the day. class 5 rapids are a kick You can eddy out then run back up into a rapid pointing upstream and surf them the same way. then paddle hard up stream and the water will stand your kayak straight up on end spin you around and spit you back out.

i would buy a plain gunstock from Boyds for the particular fire arm. Walnut is the wood of choice but they have laminates as well. https://www.boydsgunstocks.com/ -
thank you.

Been working on this in my spare time. I finally got the blade finished. The hardest part was finding a suitable roller. The roller is made from the guts of three old shocks from my truck. This is one of those i think i can projects lol. I haven't finished but it worked so i couldn't wait to post a few pics. I still need to do some tinkering and adjusting and will add an oak base to it to be bolted down lol.
